If you have questions about how to do canning,freezing and preserving in general,talk to Mandy for some options.
 
We also do not know how each season will turn out so yields are dependent on the weather. It is important to sign up for newsletter and communicate well with Mandy. This means read her texts ! Some families come to the farm and do a big harvest pick up, that is something you can do just give Mandy a call!
